It really isn't :) Here's the super simple way. You don't need to fiddle with path or anything.

1) Download the Android SDK for Mac. It's a zip file.

2) Unzip the contents and place them somewhere reasonably easy to find. I put mine in my home directory in a folder called "Android".

3) Open the Terminal App. Easiest way is to invoke Spotlight (Command-Space) and type "Terminal" (no quotes). When you see the Terminal app highlighted, press enter.

4) In Terminal, navigate to the folder containing the sdk. You change directories using the command "cd" (no quotes). Typing "cd ~/" will take you to your home directory and from there you can change folders by typing "cd Android" for example. To get a list of files and folders in your current location, type "ls" and press enter.

5) Once you're in the sdk folder, change to the tools folder ("cd tools"). Then all you have to do is type "./adb <whatever adb commands you want>" and you're golden. "./adb shell" will give you a shell prompt for your phone, for example. Obviously you need your phone plugged in at this point :) Typing just "./adb" will give you a list of all available commands.

Questions? Ask away :)

[EVO 4G General] Aerodynamix:
Ok so...back to the kernel thing... I've been browsing wikipedia, and I see that the latest linux kernel is 2.6.36. So my question is...why work on .35 at all? Instead of just skipping to .36?

Don't worry, I know you have your reasons, I'm not some noob trying to tell you what to do, i'm just curious as to why things are done that way.
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
HTC uses .32 still :/
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
Thanks for the explanations; now,if i confirm my 4g is toast, i guess i would have to unroot and return the phone....not sure if its worth the hassle....
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
That's what I just did. I've not seen anyone with 4G totally toast except those like me who were early users of Unrevoked 2.
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
well we use google kernels. if u go here (AOSP) or here (code aurora) to where the aosp kernels are for msm devices, you will see that at the moment .35 is the stablest release. .36 is still being merged into msm and .37 hasnt even been added yet. one could take and add code, drivers and support on his own, but were talking a massive amount of work for one guy (it could be done though). right now .35 is as good as it gets as far as google supported. lots of things change in newer kernel versions as far as drivers go also. each new kernel brings new drivers and ways of doing things. in our case (the supersonic) we have to adapt board files and drivers to work with each new kernel base. in other words, its not just copy and paste the old drivers given to us by htc into a newer kernel and compile.

so yeah thats pretty much how it rolls and why i went with .35. one would think .34 to .35 is a small jump but it was a bit more then what i even thought it was going to be.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Hey toastcfh how is the .35 kernel coming along?

8pen from my supersonic yea....
[EVO 4G General] jorgeszabo:
Has anyone had any problems with hot spots appearing on their screen? I figured this started showing up recently and I'm not sure if the ROM has anything to do with it. I'm guessing it doesn't.

I know this probably is beyond the scope of this thread but I read that this is warranty repair as well. Should I unroot before going to the Sprint store?

Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Never had that before. Time for a trip to the sprint store.

Flashed the newest nightly tonight and it worked great. However, after I flashed gapps and it got to the "touch the android to begin" screen, I could touch it, and the android would flash, but it wouldn't move past it. All of the other buttons worked, but touching the android didn't. Going to flash last nights nightly and see if that works.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
do you connect as a disk drive, usb tethering, or another way?

does a window come up on your phone when you are entering commands, or just on your computer?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
its looking good. everything appears to be working. i need to do some changes to sdio and mmc to support the sqn module for wimax. but i think thats it. its pretty fast though. check my github in my sig. ive committed all my changes thus far. it can be compiled and used imo. but i reckon more testing needs to be done.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
.35 is a monstrous kernel. i compiled it and, let's just say, it's all i was expecting on the evo as it is on my n1. fantastic job, toast. truly amazing work! coffee is coming your way ;)
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
agreed... in my findings it appears .35 is much more stable, quicker, and more responsive then all the previous kernels, even htcs kernels. forme battery life has been a bit better also. it was definitely worth the effort
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i actually have a question about battery charging drivers. are the drivers for extended batteries, such as the new 2600mah and 3500mah ones, being included in the cm kernel? i know warhell was asking about it in the snap irc channel.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
Wow. I wish I knew how to compile that kind of stuff. I'd love to try it out. :)
[EVO 4G General] fchipm:
I don't really understand the changelog/commits, etc. so forgive me. But does anyone know the status of LED notification controls? I am loving CM6.1 so much but I can't see the green light at all, and wish it could be orange.

I could do it with Fresh Rom + Handcent.
[EVO 4G General] pdlboy:
You don't need to do anything special to the phone when you connect it to your computer. Don't mount it as a disk drive or anything. When you plug the phone in, it will automatically enter USB debugging mode - that's what you need to send adb commands. On CM6 I believe USB debugging is enabled by default, but just in case it isn't, you can find the option under Settings -> Applications -> Development. Make sure "USB debugging" is checked.

No window will appear on your phone. Depending on your theme, you might see a little bug icon in your notification area. All the commands and output happen on your computer.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
ok, got all that installed; problem is, I cant get the command "fastboot oem wimaxrmac" to run; I am trying to see what the MAC address is on my phone, to see if it matches the MAC on the inside of the battery cover..supposedly, if they dont match, you wont get 4G to connect..

I can get the shell to open, by typing "./adb shell", I then get the # sign;

but when I type "./adb fastboot oem wimaxrmac", I get a message saying "fastboot not found"

I see the command "fastboot" when I type "./ls" in the tools folder, so I know its there, I just cant get it to run...

Any ideas?

thanks!
[EVO 4G General] pdlboy:
I don't have time right now to check on my phone, but I can give you one piece of advice. Once you have entered a shell using adb (you have the # sign), you no longer need to type "./adb" You've essentially opened a session on your phone - it's like you're typing in a terminal window on your phone. Try the commands after "./adb shell" without the "./adb" and see if that helps.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
ok, thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G General] paranoid android85:
cool. will the new kernel be included in one of the future nightlys?
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
Yes, but almost certainly not until after the 6.1 final release. Things are locked down for just bug fixes now to get 6.1 final stable, then new features will start to be added back in.

*bumpity bump* this is becoming annoying. any video someone uploads themselves to facebook will not play thru the facebook app on cm6. the facebook app will only play uploaded youtube clips.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
Do Facebook videos work on other ROMs? I've never tried before.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
yes, every rom
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
try it out. if you our one of your friends uploads a video to facebook from your phone you will get that dreaded message when you try to view it from the facebook app on cm6. at first I thought the app just couldn't play those videos but then my friend showed me on his stock droid x so I tried it on my girls epic and she was also able to view the video clip. sense roms the video will play also, this has always been like this on cm6. I can get logs but this will not work for anybody on cm 6 so I don't think they are necessary. I wonder what are the chances of cyanogen fixing this?
[EVO 4G General] sisith:
I just had a problem with 6.1 and gentle alarm pro. This morning I could not shut off the alarm and had to pull the battery. I got the screen to turn on after pushing random buttons and it was shaking rapidly and wouldn't respond to screen taps. Anyone else run into this? This is the first time I've had a problem with gentle alarm and don't know if it's the rom or app. I am running the stock cm kernel.

The reason you have less bars is because there's literally less bar we have 4 now instead of 5 me sitting in this exact spot have 4 bars on a sense rom but only have 2 on cm but I get the exact same speeds if not better I was on dtor today dl a Ep.

Fixing missing apps in Market - ideas?

Does anyone know what to modify in the BUILD.PROP to show missing apps in market?? I've noticed that LauncherPro and ADW are missing. I'm just not sure which lines to edit and what to put in place. Thanks.

[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
you could download launcherpro from their website. i had to. adw was losing things
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
Music started playing for no reason 3 times today. I have never even listened to MP3's on my phone.I had a "droid" mp3 from a boot animation in my pictures folder. I can hang up the phone from a call and hear droid, droid, droid over and over in repeat mode. I finally deleted it and of course it stopped. Also battery life for me is worse than any other rom i've tried. Used 1 3/4 batteries today and it was a light day. Also anybody know a way to tweak the ADW launcher so it doesnt hesitate so bad when you scroll or swype it? moving between homepages feels sluggish compared to Sense and Launcher pro. the over all snappiness of the phone feels improved though.
[EVO 4G General] jabbawalkee:
That's weird...my battery life has been phenomenal and I'm a heavy user and am constantly tweaking/playing with it. I don't know why people are having all these "issues." Only issue I have, aside from main things working which cyan has already mentioned (and need not be mentioned further), is that a few market apps are missing. No big deal. I love this.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
You restored some application from backup that used as a notification tone something from your sdcard. If you didn't reset it, then what it will use is chosen at random, and if it's some 10 minute MP3... well, that's what plays.
[EVO 4G General] jaysmi32:
I also had to go to the launcher pro website and download the program, works great I think, also wifi connects fast at home and work, Bluetooth works great also, and there's voice dialing!!!
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
install a new theme. fixed it for me. i got the gala s theme.

of course, that was before adw freaked out on me and i had to switch to launcherpro, lol

Uptime does not equal awake time. To know if your device has really being sleeping is to go into Spare Parts and click Battery History and check the Running percentage, click it, it should tell you how long it has been awake.

Same on installed ADW that came with the rom. Half the wallpapers i choose end up getting green grassy instead.
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
what is cyanogen's method?

My battery life is pretty miserable also. I did the other method but not the 10 times thing that was ridiculous.

Also Android system was consuming 44% of my battery life so I think there are some bugs that need to be worked out still.

[EVO 4G General] thenewguy821:
Thanks, I will look into that...
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
i can vouch for the lack of signal strength for data or mobile massacring battery life. i live in an area with very bad signal, but i use an airave so as soon as i place a call while in my office my bars fill immediately,however the rest of the time your evo will be straining to find a signal thus killing battery, now add 3/4g data transfer on while not in use and you have the makings of a full on battery slaughter. if your signal strength floats between 90-100 i strongly suggest turning off data when not using the internet, to conserve battery life. it annoys the hell out of me having to do this on THIS phone, but we all have 2 choices when faced with problems:

1. Cry :(

2. FIND AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION

im sure all of these issues will be resolved by the final, so ill be just fine until then. chargers are cheap and i work from my office and it really doesnt matter if my battery only lasts for 2hrs, to me its just the principal; if i can do something to improve the battery life myself i feel inclined to do so...
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
You can install a new keyboard then.

As for flash, did you install it in the Market? I was having trouble with Flash On Demand but I turned it to always on and it works just fine for me.

And for voicemail... Google Voice is way better. :D. You should be able to find the SprintVVM.apk somewhere around here though if you really want that.
[EVO 4G General] ao7996:
I hear you on the low 3g coverage being the culprit of poor battery life. I have enough of a signal to run Pandora all morning and surf the net without issue, but the battery information tells me I'm without signal ~35% of the morning, which kills my battery on about 5hours with moderate-heavy use.

I've been switching between the CM nightlys and Fresh and experience the same condition with both roms

[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
I would love to give this a try. I was looking at the instructions on the cyanogen wiki on how to build a kernel. Are all the steps necessary? Specifically reading the steps under Configure the build and Merge the Build. Since the source is a cm kernel, do you have to do those?
[EVO 4G General] Dumboguy03:
Is this something you guys can share once built? I would love this kernel, but know next to nothing about how to compile the code. Is this a possibility or is there a lot of reading in my future?
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
I dont suppose that once its compiled, it could be made into a flashable zip file?
[EVO 4G General] stroths:
You can check without a computer as well. Download a terminal emulator program on the market. I use Better Terminal Emulator Pro myself, but there are free alternatives.

You may have to type the command su to get root. Then type the command below.

grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0

After typing that command, you should get the output below. If you do not have those last 2 lines regarding RSA keys (bold) then your wimax is hosed. Mine was and I had to get it exchanged at a Sprint store (no charge for me). First chance I got, I backed up my wimax partition with Amen Ra 1.8 on my new phone. From what I have read, there really isn't a way to fix the phone if you are missing this unless you have a backup of your own wimax partition.

NOTE: Checking this way, it is normal for the actual RSA key to not be displayed. The output should look just like mine if your RSA keys are still good.

[EVO 4G General] henderjr:
I have a bug that I was wondering if someone can help me with.

I'm running the latest nightly. I did a full wipe for the RC1 last week. I then loaded up my apps from Titanium Backup.

My issue is for some reason my phone "soft boots" every once and a while. Sometimes it'll be a couple an hour and then it won't for 12 hours. What I mean by soft boot is it goes back to the boot animation. So it's not a full reboot. Is there a name for that?

It can happen when my phone is just sitting there, when I'm using the browser, or listening to Pandora. Very random.

I also use the LCD Density Changer app to lower it to 220 but having that doesn't seem to change it as I've had it softboot at stock 240 and 220.

I have aLogcat on my phone and have the logs. Though if I'm not mistaken does the log reset on a softboot? It appears my log starts right after it's done booting. Here are the errors from my log... I have the full log too..

Full log attached..

Thanks for any help!

I just loaded up the new kernel. We'll see if it fixes anything.
